Hello everybody!!

I'm two weeks post-op today and for the most part things are going great. I've already noticed that I have more energy...not sure how much of that is just my mind, you know? But, my afternoon naps are gone. I'm sleeping better too. Exercise is also going well. I'm up to an hour on my treadmill doing variable speed and inclines.

Foodwise things are interesting. Clears were ok, full liquids made me a bit crazy, most of the time they were fine, but sometimes I'd drink too much and fell like I'd eaten Thanksgiving dinner! Today was my first day of mushies. I ate a whole egg for Breakfast and for lunch some fish mixed with hummus. I tried to eat some tuna salad for a snack and only managed two baby spoons before I was done.

I'm starting to have some nauseousness, I'm guessing that's because of the new consistency of the food....nothing major just a wave or two of "ewww". I'm still not consistently drinking my water...I'm good for 50ish ounces most days. But not the 64, that's hard for me to adjust too, 'cause before the sleeve I could knock back a gallon a day.

I guess that's it for now, thanks for reading,

Tracy

Wow a whole egg lucky you. eggs happen to be the one thing that makes me sick, and that was when I only ate half of it. I have to say I'm jealous. I have more energy as well. Keep up the great work.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
